about us

A social group of dedicated fly fishers who are passionate about fly fishing in the tropical north of Australia and equally as passionate about the close camaraderie this sport brings. This passion and dedication led to the creation of the NT Flyfishers Social Mob blog site; an interactive and creative outlet where everyone can share our wonderful fly fishing adventures and link into the “after fishing” social events we enjoy in this incredible part of the world.

TIDES, WIND AND MOON ALIGN...NOW ITS UP TO THE FISH

Looking at the weekend of the 4th and 5th of June, and if all the predictions are right should be a great time on the Harbours for fishing.    The New Moon is on the 5th so the tides are in line with Graeme the Greys  "In a nutshell I like 7 days to a New or full Moon and home for  9 days in between, in this area its defined by the low tide  reaching midday that's when I go home." which you can read about if you click on this link Love the Moon.

Here are the tides (Saturday..but Sunday is similar)

 As you can see, there is over four metres (4m) of movement which means plenty of run ('No run no fun') and plenty of water to launch and retrieve early in the morning and after 2pm.  You don't often get great tides like this.  I have Bynoe tides here but Darwin will be similar and if you fish Darwin make sure you have a look at these links from 'The Stig'  Darwin Pt. One  and  Darwin Pt. Two.

Now the wind according to the predictions is almost non-existent, but as you know anything can happen...again I have Bynoe which would be my pick, and this is for 2pm on Saturday at 2 knots whereas Darwin is 3 knots for the same time.



The synoptic from BOM shows great weather too....

  
So, all in all looks like the perfect weekend....see Graeme the Greys post from June 2013 by clicking on The Game Plan and here is a few shots of fish on a weekend in June on similar tides but no where as good weather, so this weekend should be a beauty.
